Hopefully everyone was able to get out to their local beer bar, restaurant, or bottle shop last week and support American Craft brewers with an actual purchase of their product.

OK, so more accurately, he was a highly controversial, as-much-hated-as-venerated Tennessean who happened to become president. I find him a more nuanced, tragic character; a victim of his own demons.

Remember playing cops and robbers? Once the game got going, there was running, chasing, dodging, ducking all over the place. Maybe you got touched, maybe you got tackled. But there always was a safe zone. Now that we’re a little “grown up,” we may not play Cop and Robbers (unless it’s a more intimate setting). [...]
